The opening track on "Racing Hearts", Al Petteway & Amy White's first official duo release.

When we met at a St. Patrick’s Day concert, it was truly love at first sight. We knew instantly that we belonged together and our lives soon became so intertwined, it was only a matter of time before we began composing music as a team. We have accompanied each other for several years now, both on stage and in the studio. And we co-produced, co-wrote material for, and guested on our last four solo projects. This album represents our first entirely collaborative recording.

The instrumentation on “Racing Hearts” is broad and reflects the variety we present in our live performances. And although instrumental music is our first love, we have included a few vocal tracks this time. (As promised, for our fans who have requested this repeatedly.)

We are so grateful, every day, for having discovered this love and this music together. We are thrilled to share this recording with you. Thank you for your support and thank you for listening.
